“I liked how each chapter explained a topic well using examples and that we were also asked to implement what we had just read (in challenge activities) to ensure that we really understood the concept.”
Laiba Mustafa, Student, University of Guelph

“The combination of online exercises, lectures, and targeted programming assignments, in addition to the book material, provides an effective, multi-­tiered approach.”

Traditional Textbooks

Students voluntarily spend twice as much time with zyBooks compared to traditional textbooks, even though the zyBooks have half as much text.

Each zyBook chapter contains animations, questions and interactive elements that help students internalize challenging concepts.

zyBooks use animations to dynamically illustrate complex concepts.

zyBooks uses thousands of questions integrated into the content to help concepts sink in.

zyBooks can include configurable embedded coding environments that allow students to work with real code, on the fly.
